What does volume and mass have to do with flotationn?
The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. If that is less than the density of water, it will float; if greater it will sink
How do you calculate density of raw cotton?
This would depend on its volume and mass. Density = mass / volume. If the cotton is compressed it will occupy less volume, so the density becomes greater.
Does water have a greater mass than lead?
water has less density than lead. Mass depends on its volume
Is 0.3 greater than or less than 0.08?
0.3 is greater than 0.08
Is 0.0549 0.549 greater or less?
0.549 is greater
What is the solute and solvent in a solution made from 15 ml of oxygen and 5 ml of helium?
Oxygen is the solvent one, since it has the greater volume of two.
Is there a greater amount of solute than solvent present in a solution?
The solute wont get dissolved completely since the solvent (i assume) is less than that of solute. and therefore after the saturation of the solvent a significant amount of solute will remain behind. an incomplete reaction takes place with your condition of mixing.
What happens when you add more solute to a solvent?
The addition of solute to a solvent concentrates the overall solution. A nice example is the laundry detergent. Some (less) concentrated detergents are less viscous, while highly concentrated detergents are more viscous (greater density). Also, adding more solute to a solvent can lower the freezing point.
What causes the entropy to change when the solute dissolves in a solvent?
The solute becomes less ordered
What is different between solute and solvent?
A solution consists of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. The solute is the substance that dissolves and the solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute. Take salt water as an example. The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent.
Does a solvent dissolves in a solvent?
Basically, yes. But only sometimes. The solute is indeed the material you have less of, and the solvent is the material in which you try to dissolve that solute. Sometimes, however, you cannot dissolve the solute.
The combination of solute and solvent?
For example, if you dissolve some tablesalt (NaCl) (maybe 1 gram) in water (H2O) (maybe 1000 grams), the solute will be the tablesalt and the solvent will be the water. Generally speaking, the solid that dissolves in a fluid (gas or liquid) is called the "solute". If the solution is one made of fluids, (for example 1000 gram ethylic alcohol + 10 gram water), the solvent is the fluid in greater amount (in our example, ethylic alcohol is the solvent and water the solute).
When a solvent is heated it can dissolve more what and less what?
solute
What is the ratio of solute to solvent in a solution?
Your question is a little ambiguous. However, in general, there is normality, molality and molarity which each describe the concentration of a solute into a solvent. The fraction of moles of solute to solvent could correctly be termed the "molar fraction" or, "molal fraction" depending on whether the solvent is expressed in volume or weight respectively. By contrast, normality is based on the chemical functionality of the solute, for example a 1M solution of sulfuric acid would be about a 2N solution of acid.
What is the difference between concentrated and diluted?
The terms concentrated and diluted refer to the various states of a solution. When it is concentrated, there is more solute or less solvent. In contrast, when it is diluted, there is less solute or more solvent.
What is the solute and the solvent in a solution made of 15 mL of oxygen and 5 mL of helium?
The substance in large amount is the solvent and the substance in the small amount is the solute. So, oxygen being more is the solvent and helium being less is the solute.
Why do isotonic solutions have the same pecentages?
Isotonic solutions have equal amounts of solute and solvent which means that the solution is 50% solute and 50% solvent. Solutions which have more or less solute are called hypotonic and hypertonic.
